The Role: As a Rating Analyst, you will participate in the evaluation of the credit quality of local governments as it relates to their ability to repay debt obligations. You will be responsible for aggregating data and information to present to rating committees.

The Team: The USPF LG Central team maintains a strong culture of analytical excellence and customer service in a supportive and collegial environment. Rating analysts are a key part of the success of the department and make meaningful contributions every day.
Your Skills: A supportive team is critical to growing the skills of any junior staff member, but a key feature of the position is the ability to also work with little supervision. In addition, you should have the ability to think critically and clearly express and defend your opinions verbally and in writing. Quantitative analysis is also part of the everyday work mix, so you should also have demonstrated skills in that area.
The Impact: US Public Finance is an important sector of the capital markets and is a key funding source and growth driver for many areas of the US economy. If you are interested in helping to facilitate this growth while challenging yourself in a fast-paced environment, this is the right position for you. This position will give the successful candidate the opportunity to contribute to a strong talent development culture that values high-impact analysis, service excellence, diversity, and empowerment.

Required:
• BS/BA or similar degree with studies in finance, government/public policy, accounting, economics, or similar fields
